Back to traditional colors with my favorite Anna Griffin and October Afternoon papers! This 5" x 7" card was made quickly and easily by folding a piece of 7" x 10"white cardstock in half. I created the card front using red Core'dinations cardstock as a base and mounting various Anna Griffin and October Afternoon (striped paper only) onto the front. I used the Fiskars scalloped punch to punch along the red and green cardstocks.

The "Merry and Bright" word art comes from the Winter Frolic Cricut cartridge. I cut it at 2-1/2" and layered it using red and green glitter cardstock from DCWV. LOVE that stuff! Use Scotch Quick Dry glue to adhere it down as that actually sticks glitter paper to glitter paper. I layered that onto two circles cut at 5-1/4" and 6" using the Mini Monograms Cricut cartridge (note that those are NOT real dial size so the circles aren't actually that large a size). I ran the red circle through the Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots folder. I pop dotted the whole thing onto the front.

Side view of the card. My little white border got wiggled when I handled it to photo. I put some heavier adhesive onto it following the photo shoot...

I decorated the inside of the card with a scrap of Anna Griffin paper that I cut with the Fiskars scallop punch. I stamped a sentiment from Papertrey Ink.

I think your mom was onto something when she named you Joy because you truly en-Joy (lol, bad pun) the christmas season. Im also refering to the word Joy used as a staple word for the christmas holiday. Thanks for the massive inspiration!!!Jess M.

I love this card and the cart winter frolic (I bought it because of the cute sayings like Merry and Bright). Thanks for the glue tip, I have been having trouble gluing the glitter paper so I'm off for some Scotch quick dry!

I really like this card. Thanks for stating what glue to use on glitter paper and the tip about the real dial. When I read 6" I thought really?? All the extras like the Cuttlebug folder really make this a wonderful card. Thanks for sharing all that detail. Linda

Oh so hard to think about Christmas coming soon. I love this card and if I am going to make Christmas cards I better get started. Seems to take me forever to figure out the design. I think I will use this one.Thank youLinda in Stanwood

What a beautiful Christmas card! Although i sometimes feel its too early to start on Christmas, (Mostly my brain can't wrap around the idea that it will be here before a blink of an eye) Seeing all your cards this week have made me realize its never too early to start on the holidays! Thanks so much for the inspiration! Your cards are just gorgeous!

Beautiful and cheerful card. Thanks for the tip on the Scotch Quick Dry for glitter paper to glitter paper because I often have trouble with that. Sometimes with putting letters onto embossed papers too.
